Tamarillo Creme Brulee

Tamarillo Creme Brulee

Posted 2013-06-09 by Natasha Stewartfollow
Tamarillos are a tart fruit with a hard skin, and soft flesh inside. They're also called a tree tomato, and the taste is something between tomato, passionfruit, and papaya. The tamarillos give this traditional crème brûlée a fruity twist.



You can easily substitute the tamarillos for a variety of other fruits.

Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Cooking Time: 30 minutes
Makes: 3 servings

Ingredients
5 tamarillos (or 10 small tamarillos)
50g caster suguar
3 egg yolks
60g sugar
250ml cream
1 vanilla pod



Method
  • Slice the tamarillos in half lengthways, and scoop out the flesh.



  • Place tamarillo flesh and 50g caster sugar in a small saucepan. Cook on a low heat until the mixture thickens and becomes a deep red colour. Leave aside to cool.

  • Preheat your oven to 150ºC.

  • Add the cream to a small saucepan. Slice vanilla bean and scrape the seeds into the cream. Bring the cream to a simmer with the vanilla bean pod.



  • Meanwhile combine the egg yolks with the 60g caster sugar. Whisk till combined.



  • Once the cream has is heated add a small amount of the hot cream mix to the egg yolks, then add the egg yolks to your cream. Whisk until well combined.

  • Add the tamarillo mix to the bottom of each of your ramekins, then top with the custard.



  • Put the ramekins in a heatproof dish, and fill the dish with water so that it comes half way up the ramekins. Lift up the ramekins and then place them back in the dish.

  • Place in the oven for 30 minutes, or until set. Then cool in the refrigerator.

  • Once the brûlées have cooled, scatter a layer of caster sugar on top. Use a blow torch to caramelise the sugar, and let it form a hard shell over the top.



  • The brûlées are not ready to serve and enjoy.
